Guess what? There’s a new robot in town: Argo, the AI Smart Companion Robot for your home! „How is it possible that in 2024 we still don’t have personal robots in our homes?“
This very question sparked the creation of Argo. And who better to tackle this challenge than three innovators who have built driverless cars, drones, rockets, and space robotic arms? Their vision: to create the smart personal home robot we’ve been waiting for!
Argo excels in three main areas:
● INTELLIGENCE: ChatGPT-level conversational abilities, smart home integration (domotics) and autonomous navigation to move and follow you around your home.
● SECURITY: 24/7 video surveillance, autonomous patrolling to check every room, motion detection for intruders, and even gas leak monitoring.
● ENTERTAINMENT: From playing your favorite music to autonomously delivering drinks, Argo makes everyday life more enjoyable, with fun features like the morning alarm or the ed-tech games for your kids.
But that’s just the start. To explore all of Argo’s features, visit their website: argorobot.it.
The intuition behind Argo is that today we still have basic vocal assistants, static boxes used just to set timers, play music. In some years, we will have humanoid robots doing laundry and cooking for us. Will we switch overnight from Alexa to fully humanoid robots? Probably not. Argo is that essential step in between, and it will keep evolving day by day.
So Argo isn’t just „Alexa on wheels.“ With its mobility, interactive animations and true conversational AI, Argo delivers an entirely different user experience: one that feels more alive and engaging than simply talking to a static device.
As the famous roboticist Tomotaka Takahashi once said: „Having people talk to a brick doesn’t work, which is why Siri hasn’t succeeded.“
So Argo is an interactive companion, your AI chatty buddy and your infinite source of knowledge!
Sure, we’ve seen other unfortunate attempts in home robots before, like Kuri or Jibo, which were true pioneers. However, the technology back then wasn’t quite there. AI, LLMs and autonomous navigation systems were still in their infancy. Today, we have the tools to push the boundaries even further and at a fraction of the cost.
When you compare Argo to other robots on the market like Vector or Loona, while impressive, they tend to lean more toward toy-like design and functionality. And then there’s Amazon Astro, a high-tech marvel, but at $1,600 its price tag doesn’t align with the value it offers. Argo strikes the perfect balance: it’s more sophisticated, less of a toy and significantly more affordable, targeting a $499 price point.
We’re seeing tech giants like Amazon and Apple (project J595) getting serious about this space, and it’s clear that smarter home robots are coming. Argo is here to be part of that revolution!
